small birds
The colours didn't come out quite as they are in the actual piece, the background is more blue. Much easier to do a lighter wash as a background though.
like Lou, I think you're getting there, I do love the gentle motion of the grass and earth, not so sure about the closest bird being chopped off like that, but honestly I think you need to push through and develop exactly this "gentle style" that you do well - font works well too! If there's any criticism to be had, then it's about understanding about the tulips/flowers and making their form more convincing
